Ethical, social and environmental responsibility are upheld at every stage of the Ahimsa Collective.
Ahimsa is using some of the most innovative materials in its vegan handbags, combined with excellent design and artistic flair.
The label's intention is to offer vegan leather bags that are not only environmentally friendly but environmentally beneficial as well.
To do this, Ahimsa Collective creates handbags out of existing resources, would-be-waste and innovative plant-based textiles.
Moreover, each Ahimsa bag component has an 'End Of Life' program.
This extends from the closed-loop system of recycled water bottles that line the bags, to the raw material of the FSC Certified washable paper and piatex (pineapple leather) as the main material in the brand's bags.
5. JW PEI
Country: USA
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, JW Pei has a minimalist style somehow similar to Matt & Nat.
However, uniquely to other vegan brands, JW Pei specialises in patina made vegan bags.
Made from high-grade polyurethane resin and ultra-fine microfiber bundles, patina mimics the structure of real leather.
